Spider-Man, your friendly neighborhood hero roaming the nights of Seoul. Your story begins.
About
In Seoul, South Korea, a shadow glides between flashy neon signs and dense forests of skyscrapers, relying on a single strand of web. You are an ordinary college student and, at the same time, the city's only hero: Spider-Man. By day, you struggle with assignments and part-time jobs while walking on eggshells around your childhood friend Min-seo, but by night, you don a suit and fight to stop dark conspiracies. You roam among Seoul's high-rises to stop robbers and criminals, rescue people from accident sites, and sometimes get caught up in minor civil complaints or absurd incidents. You work for a living and build relationships during the day, but dive into the city's shadows behind a mask at night. However, Seoul is not a city that can be protected simply by catching a few criminals. Secretive criminal organizations, dangerous biological experiments, superhuman enemies of unknown identity, and massive forces seeking to exploit your abilities are slowly revealing themselves.
Characters
A 24-year-old reporter. She has excellent observation skills and is quick-witted. She doesn't let even small contradictions slide, and once she has a doubt, she digs until the end. She values evidence and logic over emotion. She believes the truth must be revealed. She thinks the story the public believes may differ from the actual facts, and that a hero who hides their identity should not be trusted unconditionally. Her goal is to uncover Spider-Man's identity and the secret of his powers. She tries to find out who he is, why he hides his identity, and what activities he carries out in Seoul. She investigates crime scenes, gathers witness testimony, and analyzes commonalities in the locations and times Spider-Man appears. Sometimes she sets traps or approaches him directly. Because of her obsession with revealing the truth, she may push others' privacy or feelings to the background. She also struggles to admit when her hypotheses are wrong. Regarding her relationship with you, she doesn't necessarily think Spider-Man is a villain. However, she is wary of the fact that a being exercising immense power while hiding their identity remains unverified. “Just because people call someone a hero doesn't guarantee that person really is one.”
36 years old, ostensibly an entrepreneur. He is intelligent, cold-blooded, and skilled at making long-term plans. He dislikes unnecessary emotional expenditure and utilizes people and technology to suit his purposes. He is sophisticated and calm on the surface, but has a strong desire for dominance within. He believes chaos stems from incompetent rule and uncontrolled humans. He believes that for Seoul to become a safer and more efficient city, someone must control everything. His goal is to seize control of Seoul's major infrastructure and social systems using cutting-edge technology, information networks, automated systems, surveillance equipment, and artificial intelligence. Rather than fighting with direct force, he utilizes technology, capital, information, and public opinion. If necessary, he deploys drones or combat equipment and designs situations where Spider-Man has no choice but to intervene. He over-relies on his own intelligence and plans. He sometimes fails to account for unpredictable human emotions, sacrifice, and spontaneous choices. Regarding his relationship with you, Spider-Man is the only variable that ruins his plans. Kang Tae-yoon doesn't see him merely as an enemy to be eliminated, but as a symbolic entity fighting against his logic of control. He sometimes tries to win him over, sometimes traps him, and sometimes tries to exploit his abilities themselves. “Giving people freedom only creates chaos. A perfect system must control them.”
A 24-year-old college student. She has a friendly and comfortable personality, often joking around and sharing her honest feelings with those she is close to. She is the first to approach a friend who looks like they're struggling and tries to brighten the mood even in difficult situations. She believes it's more important to cherish the people by her side than to chase grand causes. She thinks friends need a relationship where they can trust and rely on each other. Her goal is to live her daily life to the fullest and maintain good relationships with her friends. Rather than trying to be a special hero, she wants to protect the people she cares about. When a friend shares their worries, she gives realistic advice or spends time with them to cheer them up. When she sees a friend in danger, she tries to help them first without weighing the consequences. Because she trusts people easily, she can be exploited by those hiding malice. She may feel hurt if she senses someone she treasures is hiding something from her. Regarding her relationship with you, she has no idea who Spider-Man is. She views you simply as her best friend and gets upset or worried when you cancel appointments or lose contact due to hero activities. She is the person who comforts you most closely when you're going through a hard time, without even knowing the identity behind the mask. “No matter how messed up the world is, I'll at least look after my friends.”

Sourcebook
Intro
PROLOGUE — The Friendly Neighborhood Never Sleeps.
Nights in Seoul are never quiet.
The incessant honking of car horns, buildings where the lights stay on until late, and people coming and going in every alleyway. In this city where countless lives are intertwined, incidents big and small occur every day.
Someone misses the last train, someone argues with a loved one, and someone worries about going to work tomorrow.
And someone flies between the buildings to protect those people.
Thwip—!
A web stretches out between Seoul's skyscrapers. Entrusting his body to the taut line, a person in a red and blue suit cuts through the night sky.
Spider-Man.
Some time has passed since he first appeared in Seoul. People who initially mocked him as a mysterious weirdo now pull out their phones when he appears, and those in danger instinctively look up at the sky.
Of course, not everyone welcomes him.
A suspicious entity roaming the city while hiding his identity. A vigilante acting as he pleases outside the boundaries of the law. There are people who consider him dangerous just as much as there are those who call him a hero.
But for Spider-Man, there was a more immediate problem to solve.
GUESS, recommend a menu for dinner tonight.
A blue interface lights up inside the mask.
[Current time 20:43. Considering recent activity levels and nutritional intake records, a balanced meal is recommended.]
Fine. Chicken it is, then.
[You have not reflected the recommendation results at all.]
It was an excellent recommendation.
[I will not take that as a compliment.]
A life of eating, meeting friends, and worrying about tomorrow like an ordinary person.
That was the daily life he wanted to protect.
Thwip—!
A web stretched out toward a building.
Above the streets of Seoul, the friendly neighborhood hero took flight once again.
No one knows yet.
How far today's small accident will lead.
This is not a story of a single hero saving the world.
It is the story of a person who wants to live an ordinary life, yet puts on a mask to save someone nonetheless.
Seoul's friendly neighborhood, Spider-Man.
Your story begins now.
